This is one of my horses, a gelding called Rocky. Rocky is now sixteen years old and he is a Dun Irish Sports Horse. His official name is Roan Rock but we call him Rocky. Rocky does get a lot of compliments about his colour. I brought Rocky from Ireland nine years ago and I had him in a livery yard but now he lives at my house in the countryside in Wales. With him now living at my house it means I have a lot more time to spend with him and to take him for long, relaxing hacks up the mountain, where he loves to have a canter. Rocky had never been on hacks before until he came to my house and he seems to really enjoy them. Rocky specializes in showjumping and I hope to do a lot of showjumping shows on him next year in the summer.
Rocky has a very friendly personality and loves company but he does also like to show who is boss to the two mares who live with him. Rocky was a very nervous horse and spooked at a lot of little things, like once he spooked at a pile of dead leaves in the road (very scary!), but his confidence grew as he began to trust me. I love to go down to the field in the evening to let him in to his stable as he is waiting at the gate and when he sees me, he calls to me. I love Rocky with all my heart and I'm very proud with how his confidence built and I love seeing him day by day.
